WAVES ARE BEATING

Waves are beating on the shore,

Crashing into foam.

Seagulls squealing, wheeling high,

Sailors coming home.

Boats are bobbing up and down

Safe in harbour now.

Some are riding out the storm

Dipping bow on bow.

WAVES ARE BEATING

God has made the sea so vast,

Oceans roaring swell;

Cliffs of chalk and granite rocks

Sailors know them well.

Furl the sails and winch the sheets,

Feel the salt-spray fly,

Know the freedom of the sea,

Underneath the sky.

WAVES ARE BEATING

Ever since the world began,

People sailed the seas,

Plunged across the roaring tides,

Floated on the breeze;

Feel the decks beneath your feet,

See the golden sand,

Set your feet upon the shore

Coming home to land.
